Disused stables and house at Carlisle Racecourse (2013)
The building behind the chevrons is one side of a rectangular yard, originally part of Blackwell House Farm. The block was converted to stabling when Carlisle Racecourse relocated here from the Swifts in 1904. The white house (No.68 Durdar Road) had been boarded up for some years when this photo was taken.
New stable facilities were opened at the southern end of the racecourse in 2006. These old buildings were redundant, and were demolished in autumn 2017 (see Image). The site will be redeveloped with housing.

Former "White Ox", Blackwell, Carlisle - April 2017
Built 1904 to replace the T'Theekt Cott pub, the White Ox was unusual in having a Newfoundland slate roof. Taken into State ownership on 1 August 1916, it was returned to the private sector in 1973 (exact date and purchaser not yet found). Seems to have closed circa 2008 and is now a private dwelling.
For a photograph of the pub just before closure, see: Image] , and for one just after closure, see: http://www.geog.port.ac.uk/webmap/thelakes/html/lgaz/lk17761.htm
